When printing a PDF created with AutoCAD from Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader, a flattening process occurs that causes a long print time. In some cases, and for specific systems, this might cause the computer to freeze during the plot process. A PDF created with the AutoCAD PDF driver requires flattening when it contains 'live transparency' data. A PDF would contain live transparency data if any. There is some advantage to using an Adobe PDF plotter if one wants to create the most lightweight PDF possible for large plots where the ability to create a PDF-A plot comes in handy, but with our office using Bluebeam over Acrobat Pro, I don't have that option anymore. Hope this helps. Mar 08, 2013 It will open the Windows Explorer and open the location where your plotters are stored. Double click Add-A-Plotter Wizard to run it. You will see Add Plotter wizard.

What Clients say?
I recommend to everyone to try AcroPlot. It's the best software I have purchased in a decade... by far. Acad users that require pdf output, this is it... worth every penny. You can create a pdf booklet of 30 drawings in about two minutes or so, incredible. It is a must have...
Congratulations on making such a powerful piece of software that takes up the considerable slack left by Acrobat Professional 7.0. Previously, large scale gradient fills in an Autocad drawing would, at best, take 20-30 minutes to plot to PDF, and at worst simply crash Acrobat (usually the latter). AcroPlot handles these files quickly and easily.
I will definitely be recommending your software to my colleagues.
I tried your Demo-Version: It's a great software - definitely superior and much easier to handle then Acrobat! Much faster, smaller and works very well too with a lot of Windows software.
I downloaded the program about an hour and a half ago, used it to Batch Plot about 200 drawings into only 2 pdf files! It was great! As soon as my boss gets back from vacation, we'll be buying it. This will save me SO MUCH TIME! Thanks!
I would also like to say how much I enjoy and depend on your product. I am currently using AcroPlot to maintain over 5000 pdf's of our electrical schematic drawings for your company. AcroPlot is a great product.

I was converting our drawings using Acrobat originally, in one week I was luck to be able to convert 700 drawings to a pdf format. After purchasing AcroPlot. I converted all 5000 drawings in less then 3 days.
I tried your Demo-Version: It's a great software - definitely superior and much easier to handle then Acrobat! Much faster, smaller and works very well too with a lot of Windows software.
Today I downloaded your AcroPlot pro software and so far the eval copy worked perfect for me. The main reason to download your software was that with [a leading competitor's software] the pdf files are very large: a file converted with [their software] shows 1260 kb, with your program only 235!

Also the possibility to combine other file formats (.xls) together with the layout tabs is very impressive.
